Objective To investigate the impact of ultrasound intervention combined with tripterygium for ovarian endometriosis cyst(OEC)on the ovarian function of patients.Methods The clinical data of 107 patients with clinically-conformed OEC,who received treatment at the Yuyao Municipal People's Hospital of China from December 2022 to June 2024,were retrospectively analyzed.According to different treatment methods,the patients were divided into control group(n=53)and observation group(n=54).The patients of control group were treated with laparoscopic cystectomy,while the patients of observation group were treated with ultrasound intervention combined with tripterygium therapy.The uterine artery blood flow parameters,sex hormone levels,tumor marker levels,ovarian reserve function were compared between the two groups.Results After treatment,uterine artery blood flow parameters were decreased in both groups,the levels of uterine artery blood flow parameters in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05);the levels of sex hormones were elevated in both groups,the levels of sex hormones in the observation group were obviously higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05).After treatment,the tumor-related indicators generally decreased,especially in the observation group receiving combination therapy,the levels of tumor-related indicators were significantly lower than those in the control group receiving simple surgical treatment(P＜0.05),indicating that the therapeutic effect of the observation group was better than that of the control group.After treatment,the ovarian reserve function of both groups were increased when compared with their preoperative values,and the ovarian reserve function of the observation group was higher than that of the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion In treating OEC patients,ultrasound intervention combined with tripterygium can regulate the levels of sex hormones,reduce tumor marker levels,improve local uterine blood flow status,and protect ovarian reserve function.This therapy is worth promoting and applying in clinical practice.

Probiotics are natural systems bridging synthetic biology, physical biotechnology, and immunology, initiating innate and adaptive anti-tumor immune activity. We previously constructed an all-in-one engineered food-grade probiotic Lactococcus lactis (FOLactis) which could boost the crosstalk among different immune cells such as dendritic cells (DCs), natural killer cells, and T cells. Herein, considering the limited clinical efficacy of naked personalized neoantigen peptide vaccines, we decorate FOLactis with tumor antigens by employing a Plug-and-Display system comprising membrane-inserted peptides. Intranodal injection of FOLactis coated with neoantigen peptides (Ag-FOLactis) induces robust DCs presentation and neoantigen-specific cellular immunity. Notably, Ag-FOLactis not only triggers a 45-fold rise in the quantity of locally reactive neoantigen-specific T cells but also induces epitope spreading in both subcutaneous and metastatic tumor-bearing models, leading to potent inhibition of tumor growth. These findings imply that Ag-FOLactis represents a powerful platform to rapidly and easily display antigens, facilitating the development of a bio-activated platform for personalized therapy.

Purpose To investigate the differential expression of proteins secreted by diffuse-type gastric cancer-associated fibroblasts(DGC-CAFs)and intestinal-type gastric cancer-associated fibroblasts(IGC-CAFs)according to Lauren classification of gastric cancer.Methods Fresh surgery samples were acquired to extract primary cancer-asso-ciated fibroblasts(CAFs)to obtain the conditional medium,including three cases of diffuse-type gastric cancer(DGC)and three cases of intestinal-type gastric cancer(IGC).Then high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(HPLC-MS/MS)was used to detect the differences in secreted factors between DGC-CAFs and IGC-CAFs.Additionally,a total of 1 174 cases were collected from the GEO and TCGA databases,and the distribution of stromal cells was assessed via ESTIMATE to derive stromal scores for both DGC and GC.Furthermore,Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed to evaluate the relationship between high stromal scores,elevated CAFs proportions,and patient prognosis.Subsequently,GO enrichment analysis was performed to investigate associated genes and their bi-ological functions.Results HPLC-MS/MS analysis showed that only 10 proteins were identified to be expressed in both DGC-CAFs and IGC-CAFs,namely SPARC,COL6A1,COL1A2,COL1A1,COL3A1,FN1,DCN,ACTG1,TIMP1 and SHROOM3.There were 8 proteins expressed higher in DGC-CAFs than IGC-CAFs in all cases with ratio＞2,namely COL3A1(5.28),COL1A2(3.98),DCN(3.71),TIMP1(3.40),COL6A1(3.35),ACTG1(3.13),COL1A1(2.84)and SHROOM3(2.50).Two other proteins,TUBB and BASP1,were identified in all three cases of DGC-CAFs.The former was only identified in one case of IGC-CAFs,while the latter was not identified in all three cases of IGC-CAFs.The results of bioinformatics analysis showed that the stromal score of DGC was higher than IGC,which correlated with poor prognosis.Analysis of cell components revealed that the related genes were more enriched in ECM,collagen-containing extracellular matrix and cell-cell junction.Also,the biological process and molecular function was based on the components,which was consistent with HPLC-MS/MS analysis results.Conclusion There are differ-ences in secreted proteins of DGC-CAFs and IGC-CAFs,both on the types and the content.The differential proteins are mostly enriched in ECM-related signaling pathways.Presumably,the high content of CAFs in the stroma affects the prognosis of gastric cancer patients by influencing the gene expression and the function of receptor pathway of ECM.

Peritoneal metastasis of colorectal cancer is the second most common metastatic pattern after liver metastasis, clinically common and associated with a poor prognosis. Refractory subtypes such as mucinous adenocarcinoma, signet-ring cell carcinoma, and BRAF V600E-mutated colorectal cancers account for a relatively high proportion in peritoneal metastasis. While previous diagnosis and treatment faced significant challenges, recent advances in new technologies and evolving therapeutic concepts have achieved progress in management. Many patients with colorectal cancer peritoneal metastasis have obtained favorable treatment outcomes, though numerous challenges persist. This article provides an in-depth analysis of current status and advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer peritoneal metastasis, examines existing clinical difficulties and unresolved issues, and explores the application of advanced technologies in clinical practice. Through promoting individualized, precise, and standardized treatment concepts, we aim to enhance survival benefits for more patients.

Objective To establish a weightlessness simulation animal model using miniature pigs, leveraging the characteristic of multiple systems’ tissue structures and functions similar to those of humans, and to observe pathophysiological changes, providing a new method for aerospace research. Methods Nine standard-grade miniature pigs were selected and randomly divided into an experimental group (n=7) and a control group (n=2). The experimental group was fixed using customized metal cages, with canvas slings suspending their hind limbs off the ground, and the body positioned at a -20° angle relative to the ground to simulate unloading for 30 days (24 hours a day). Data on body weight, blood volume, and blood biochemistry indicators were collected at different time points for statistical analysis of basic physiological changes. After the experiment, the miniature pigs were euthanized and tissue samples were collected for histopathological observation of the cardiovascular, skeletal and muscle systems HE and Masson staining. Statistical analysis was also conducted on the thickness of arterial vessels and the diameter of skeletal muscle fibers. Additionally, western blotting was employed to detect the expression levels of skeletal muscle atrophy-related proteins, including muscle-specific RING finger protein 1 (MuRf-1) and muscle atrophy F-box (MAFbx, as known as Atrogin-1), while immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), an indicator of astrocyte activation in the brain, reflecting the pathophysiological functional changes across systems. Results After hindlimb unloading, the experimental group showed significant decreases in body weight (P<0.001) and blood volume (P<0.01). During the experiment, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and red blood cell count levels significantly decreased (P<0.05) but gradually recovered. The expression levels of alanine aminotransferase and γ-glutamyltransferase initially decreased (P<0.05) before rebounding, while albumin significantly decreased (P<0.001) and globulin significantly increased (P<0.01). Creatinine significantly decreased (P<0.05). The average diameter of gastrocnemius muscle fibers in the experimental group significantly shortened (P<0.05), with a leftward shift in the distribution of muscle fiber diameters and an increase in small-diameter muscle fibers. Simultaneously, Atrogin-1 expression in the gastrocnemius and paravertebral muscles significantly increased (P<0.05). These changes are generally consistent with the effects of weightlessness on humans and animals in space. Furthermore, degenerative changes were observed in some neurons of the cortical parietal lobe, frontal lobe, and hippocampal regions of the experimental group, with a slight reduction in the number of Purkinje cells in the cerebellar region, and a significant enhancement of GFAP-positive signals in the hippocampal area (P<0.05). Conclusion Miniature pigs subjected to a -20° angle hind limb unloading for 30 days maybe serve as a new animal model for simulating weightlessness, applicable to related aerospace research.
